Monthly Board Report
Welcoming students and families back for a new year!
We're are excited for our students and staff to return for 2021-22 next week.
About masks
One of the most common questions we are are fielding is: "Are we wearing masks?"
The answer: "Masks are recommended but not required.”
We appreciate our staff and parents providing feedback on masks and it was reviewed with the Board earlier this week. Trustees made the decision to follow CDC guidance and continue with recommending masks for all students, teachers, and staff while indoors. You can find that information here.
We'll start the school year with masks recommended. Our Board of Trustees and I will continuously monitor the level of positive COVID cases in our schools. We will monitor absenteeism due to COVID among staff and students and required quarantines. We'll use this information to guide our decision making.
The Board will hold a special meeting Aug. 23 as we work to finalize our COVID Operations Plan for the school year.
Online only option
We are pleased to continue to offer Caldwell Online Academy as a service for our families who want this option for their children during this time. Learn more here.
